Isole E Olena Chianti Classico

Details

The 2022 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico marks a significant chapter for the estate, being one of the first full vintages released following the acquisition by the EPI group and the retirement of the legendary Paolo de Marchi. Despite the transition, the winemaking philosophy remains steadfast: producing a Chianti Classico of immense grace, balance, and “Savoy” elegance.

Tasting Note: Crimson in colour with typical sour cherry and bramble notes. The palate has a supple, lithe character full of perfumed fruit and is given depth by a mineral vein and a hint of oak. Structure comes from the taut acidity and tannin structure.
